Find Your Impact at Vanderbilt
With Commencement just days away, now is a great time to take a look at how Vanderbilt seniors are making a difference on campus and in the world. During their time at Vanderbilt, the students profiled below have explored their passions and found ways to make an impact.
Our amazing students immerse themselves into myriad passions during their years at Vanderbilt: the stories below include music, healthy eating, and apps for orangutans. One common thread in these stories is how the scholarly community at Vanderbilt helped lead these students on unexpected paths of discovery.
